Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
Your history suggests that it may be fracture of the Coccyx,the tail bone due to sudden fall on the ground in sitting position.
Better use an inflated scooter tube for sitting so that the tail bone does not touch the base while sitting.
Usually improvement occurs in 4-6 weeks.
You may consult orthopedician and get an x-ray done to confirm the diagnosis.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
